Episode 55 Drum Machines: A Recorded History, Part 2: Digital Drum Machines   Playlist Linn Drum Gary Numan, “My Brothers Time” from Dance (1981 Beggar's Banquet). Early use of the Linn LM-1 by John Webb on this track. Note the sound of the claves, played by Numan but not digital. Bass, Saxophone, Mick Karn; Linn LM-1 drum machine, John Webb; Piano, Claves, Gary Numan. 4:37 Rajie, “ストーミー・ナイト (Stormy Night)” from Acoustic Moon (Sony 1981). Early recognition in Japan of the original Linn LM-1 drum machine. Rajie, vocals; Guitar, Mikihiko Matsumiya; Bass, Tsugutoshi Goto ; Chorus,  Hiroshi Koide,  Raji ; Composed By,  Akira Inoue ; Drums,  Tatsuo Hayashi ; Electric Guitar-Tsuyoshi Kon; Flute,  Motoya Hamaguchi ; Lyrics By,  Etsuko Kisugi ; Percussion,  Motoya Hamaguchi ; Prophet-10, Linn LM-1, Electric Piano,  Akira Inoue. Early Linn Drum Computer. 5:08 Herbie Hancock, “The Twilight Clone” from Magic Windows (1981 Columbia). If you want to study the latest in emerging electronic music instruments, just listen to the many albums by Herbie Hancock throughout the 1970s and 1980s. He was an early adopter of the Linn LM-1, heard here and played by Hancock. Bass, Louis Johnson; Linn LM-1 Drum Machine, Herbie Hancock; Ghanian Drums, Moody Perry III; Ghanian Drums, Bells, Kwasi Dzidzornu, Kwawu Ladzekpo; Lead Guitar, Adrian Belew; Percussion, Paulinho Da Costa; Rhythm Guitar, George Johnson; Written by, A. Belew, H. Hancock. 8:16 Don Henley, “The Boys of Summer” Linn Drum demo version (excerpt) (1984 private). Guitar and Linndrum, Mike Campbell; Synthesizer, Steve Porcaro; Synthesizer, Guitar, Danny Kortchmar. Bass, Larry Klein; vocals, lyrics, Don Henley. The instrumental part of the song came first and was put together by Tom Petty bandmate Mike Campbell who had just purchased a LinnDrum machine which was a more affordable model than the original LM-1 released in 1980. Campbell put together a rhythm track and played some guitar. Tom Petty wasn't interested in the song at that time, so it went to Henley, who wrote the lyrics. This demo was close to the final version. The final mix of the song also included some human drumming, as did live performances where a human drummer tried to replicate the sound of the original Linndrum. 0:42 Jean Michel Jarre, “Zoolookologie” from Zoolook (1984 Disques Dreyfus). A fascinating exploration of samples both of voice and drums. This is the later version of the Linn Linndrum machine, just before the introduction of the Linn 9000. There is pure joy in this track as Jarre uses the Linndrum to create many unexpected sounds and atypical rhythms. Bass, Marcus Miller; Composer, Producer, Ethnic Vocals Processing, Keyboards, Electronics, Jean-Michel Jarre; Drums, Yogi Horton; Daniel Lazerus; Guitar Ira Siegel; Guitar, Effects, Adrian Belew; Keyboards, Frederic Rousseau. 4:13 David Van Tieghem, “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” from In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1986 Wide Angle). Drummer and percussionist Van Tieghem created this version of the Iron Butterfly song using electronic drums (Octapads) and digital drums. Engineer, Programmed By Fairlight Programming Assistance, Eric Liljestrand; Guitar, Larry Saltzman; Vocals, Synthesizer Digital, Analog, Percussion Acoustic, Electronic, Mixed By, Producer, David Van Tieghem; Written-By, Doug Ingle. Basically a one-person performance aside from guitarist Saltzman. Van Tieghem was using both hand played electronic drums (the Octapads) plus some digital drum machines. 5:36 Suzanne Ciani, “Mosaic” from Neverland (1988 Private Music). Composed, Arranged, Performed, Produced by Suzanne Ciani. Among the many electronic instruments used by Ciani were keyboards made by Yamaha, Roland, and Bode (vocoder). For drum programming, she turned to the Linn 9000. This track has some decidedly simple, yet complex rhythms using the Linn 9000 that are truly nuanced and more jazz like. The care with which she programmed this track is in contrast to the typical drum machine beats you hear on records. Ciani also used a Roland TR-707 on this album, which you may also detect on this track. 4:37 Oberheim DMX Todd McKinney, “Kimberlite” from The Sound Of The System (1982 Oberheim). This 7-inch demo disc includes music created by Todd McKinney and Daniel Soger, two Oberheim employees. “Kimberlite” was composed and performed by McKinney using the DMX Programmable Digital Drum Machine, the DSX Digital Polyphonic Sequencer, and the OB-Xa Polyphonic Synthesizer. 2:28 Tangerine Dream, “Poland” from Poland (The Warsaw Concert) (1984 Jive Electro). You can hear the Bohn Digital Drums in the first half of the song and the Oberheim DMX in the second half. But that's a bit of a guess. Dr. Böhm DIGITAL DRUMS was a rhythm machine made in Germany from 1982-83, also known as ''the German Linndrum.'' Composed, performed, and produced by Tangerine Dream. Jupiter 8, PPG Wave 2.3 Waveterm, Minimoog, Korg Monopoly, Sequenced by EEH CM 4 Digital Sequencer, Bohm Digital Drums, Roland Tr 808 Drums, Roland SDE 3000 Delay, MXR 01 Digital Reverb, MXR Digital Delay, Johannes Schmoelling; Prophet 5, Prophet 600, Prophet 1, E-mu Custom Programmable Synth, Moog Custom Programmable Modular Synth, MTI Synergy, Sequenced by the PE Polyrhythmic Sequencer, Compulab Digital Sequencer, Syntec Custom Digital Drum Computer, Electronic Drums Simmons Drum Modules, Effects Quantec Room Simulator, Roland SDE 3000, Electronics Hill Multi-mixer, Chris Franke; Yamaha DX 7, Yamaha YP 30, Jupiter 8, Jupiter 6, Prophet 5, PPG Wave 2.2, Sequenced By Pe Polyrhythmic Sequencer, EEH Cm 4 Digital Sequencer, PE Custom Trigger Selector, DMX Oberheim Digital Drum machine, Edgar Froese. 8:43 Herbie Hancock, “Earth Beat” from Future Shock (1983 Columbia). In addition to the DMX, this track includes evidence that Garfield Electronics Dr. Click Rhythm Controller was a much-needed rhythm device for wrangling the otherwise incompatible signals prior to the introduction of MIDI a few years later. Craig Anderton wrote the following about Doctor Click in an article in Keyboard from 1983: "Doctor Click is not a keyboard instrument, not a drum machine, and not a signal processor: What it does is synchronize and interface these three families of devices together. Not only can it interface to existing sync tracks, it can build up click tracks from incomplete click tracks, and even create sync and/or click tracks which are referenced to a live musician." Hancock masters Dr. Click on this album. Fairlight CMI, Yamaha GS-1, Yamaha CE-20, Dr. Click Rhythm Controller, Herbie Hancock; DMX Drum Machine, Synare Electronic Drums, Memory Moog Programming, Michael Beinhorn; Bass, Bill Laswell; Bata, Daniel Ponce; Turntables – Grandmixer D. ST. 5:09 Herbie Hancock, “Hardrock” from Sound System (1984 Columbia). The sound of the Oberheim DMX digital drum machine as used by Herbie Hancock. This album was his follow-up to the album Future Shock on the DMX made a famous appearance in the song Rockit, which was unusually a top-selling hit for Hancock. The DMX is played here by non-other than Bill Laswell. Note that Simmons electronic drums are also being played on this track by Anton Fier, but I think you can tell the difference. Bass, Drum Machine DMX, Tape, Bill Laswell; Bata, Daniel Ponce; Simmons electronic drums, Sound Plates, Cuica, Anton Fier; Guitar, Henry Kaiser, Nicky Skopelitis; Fairlight CMI Programming, Will Alexander; Fairlight CMI, Rhodes Chroma, Apple IIe, Yamaha DX7, Emu 4060 Digital Keyboard, Herbie Hancock; Synthesizer (XMD), Rob Stevens; Turntables, D. St; Written-By, B. Laswell, D. Showard, Herbie Hancock. 6:10 Davy DMX, “Bonus Beats” from One For The Treble (Fresh) (1984 Tuff City). Davy DMX when he first met the Oberhheim DMX digital sampling drum machine. He is also known as David Franklin Reeves, Jr. Here is a bonus track of only drum machine and turntable. 1:47 Davy DMX, “One For The Treble (Fresh) (Instrumental)” from One For The Treble (Fresh) (1984 Tuff City). Davy DMX when he first met the Oberheim DMX digital sampling drum machine. Another track from that same 12-inch. 7:31 Movement MCS Drum Computer John Foxx, “Pater Noster” from The Garden (Virgin 1981). This album was produced after Foxx left Ultravox. It is another example of the MCS Drum Computer. This track only features Foxx on synthesizers, voice, drum programming, and a manually struck Tom Tom. 2:30 Roland El Escuadrón Del Ritmo, “Las Cucarachas” from Back Up: Mexican Tecno Pop 1980-1989 (2021 Dark Entries). I discovered this wonderful collection of Mexican synth-pop tracks, some never before heard, and immediately dug-out a track using a drum machine. This track is from 1982. In this case, the drum machine is the Roland Compu-Rhythm CR-78, which was a transitional analog device with analog drum sounds and digital control for programming patterns. 3:44 Nahtabisk, “La Dama De Probeta” from Back Up: Mexican Tecno Pop 1980-1989 (2021 Dark Entries). Another hidden gem from Mexico. This track is from 1984 and features the Roland drumTR-606 Drumatix. The TR-606 featured PCM-encoded sounds of real drums. This small device, that ran on batteries, helped define the sound of early techno. 3:20 E-mu Joe Mansfield, “Drumulator (Instrumental)” from Drumulator (2014 Get On Down). This is a track featuring the sounds of the E-mu Drumulator that was sold from 1983 to 1985. It had twelve, 8-bit sampled sounds of real drums and at about $1000 was more affordable that drum machines like the Linndrum and Oberheim DMX. It was created on the heels of the sample synthesizers they made under the Emulator name. It also had a relatively short life so few recordings from the time were made. This demo is an example of what could be done with the Drumulator and Herbie Hancock took a liking to it prior to switching to the Oberheim DMX. 2:02 Richard Souther, “Uncharted Waters” from Innermission (1986 Meadowlark Records). Music and realization by Richard Souther. Includes synthesizers from Roland, PPG, Sequential Circuits, and Casio. He also used both the Linn 9000 and E-mu SP-12 drum machines, which are both heard on this track. You can clearly hear the Linn 900 and its distinctive snare and bass sounds, while the E-mu, which was built around the circuits in the company's popular keyboard samplers, provided some of the more unusual, even exotic, percussion sounds. 3:23 Alesis Slant, “Sheep” and “Ducks” from Hive (1989 These Records). This amazing group, although short-lived, was a British experiment in rock with noise elements that included Cris Cheek, Philip Jeck, Sianed Jones, and Osian Tam. Cross used an Alesis HR-16, which is showcased in the second of two tracks, “Ducks.” I think that is probably the same drum machine in the first track, “Sheep” so I thought this represented some good contrast in the way that the sound could be treated. This had 49 digital samples of drums that could be programmed in real-time by playing the velocity sensitive drum buttons. Double Bass Julia Doyle; Guitar, Cabasa, Engineer, Co-producer Maciek Hrybowicz; Keyboards, Accordion, Synthesizer DX7; Piano, Clarinet, Voice, Marimba, Goblet Drum Darabouka, Tambourine, Bells Agogo Bells, Sampler Cassette Samples, Flute Souffara, Rattle Seed Pod Rattles, Performer Emax, Alesis HR-16, Breath Rhythms, Face Slap, Mixed By, Co-producer Cris Cheek; Turntables, Radio Philip Jeck; Violin, Piano, Vocals, Organ, Fife, Viol Viola Da Gamba, Harmonium, Claves, Performer Emax, Breath Rhythms, Mixed By, Co-producer Sianed Jones; Voice Osian Tam. 4:31 Closing, Linn LinnDrum Mikel Rouse, “Quorum part 2” from Quorum (1984 Club Soda Music). It was inevitable that a composer would create an extended piece of music using only the Linn Linndrum. Mikel Rouse was that person. Listen to the hypnotic patterns of this work. From the composer's notes: “Quorom is a piece for LinnDrum machine (or 18 percussion players) in 9 parts running approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes in length. Though the sequence of parts 1 through 9 must be maintained, the parts may be divided into sections, or run continuously. Themes are produced through the synchronization of the 3 generators, 3-5-8, and their complimentary factors yield counterthemes. Power series are then applied to produce harmonic contrasts from the original themes. Thematic material is developed through multiple variation techniques (circular permutations, accents through superimposition of an additional component, natural growth through the summation series). I decided to undertake the programming myself and, with the aid of Jim Bergman, successfully completed the programming in about 5 hours. I would like to stress that all programming was done through the step-by-step process provided in the operator's manual for construction “songs” from “patterns”. No special treatments or extensions (including cassette interfaces) were required.” Such was the versatility of the Linn Linndrum. 11:16   Background Sounds Volti, “Corazón” from Back Up: Mexican Tecno Pop 1980-1989 (2021 Dark Entries). Mexican electro-pop group. This track is from 1986 and features unknown drum programming. vocals, synthesizer, Lyndell Brookhouse; bass, synthesizers, drum programming percussion, Eddie Rubello; Backing Vocals, Katie Taylor; Congas, Edgar Herrera; Piano, Vincent Kenis; Timbales, Pedro Ortiz. 3:45. Adams and Fleisner, tracks “a1, a2, b1, b2, b3” from Modern Digital Recorded Drumcomputer Rhythm Tracks (1983 Break Records). I think this track of library digital drum samples from the Netherlands was made with the Drum Computer MCS II (or Percussion Computer) from Movement Computer Systems, a rare British made-drum machine circa 1983. It had an integrated CRT monitor and had an orange (or black) case. It used 8-bit samples of drums and featured 14 voices and programmable patterns. Opening: Opening and closing sequences voiced by Anne Benkovitz. Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes. For additional notes, please see my blog Noise and Notations. There are dozens of drum machines that dot the history of electronic music. For an encyclopedic list of almost every drum machines ever made, and there were dozens of variations and models up until around 1985, check-out the excellent books by Alex Graham, a UK-based drum machine collector and specialist.

Thanks Tuff City... it's been a slice. But now I'm outie. 31:01 - Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist explains the "magic" behind the stunning sunset along the horizon all day, as the waves began to pick up. It was the perfect setting to work on my final show. 59:13 - The emailed-s/o from former treeplanting homie @omar-shihottie means the world to us here.

You're in for a treat: Tuff City local Andrew Kinnie not only pops by to drop some knowledge and a didgeridoo/drum live performance, he also brought his DJ gear... Suffice to say we had an absolute blast! 20:20 - This week is Co-op Week, meaning all you member/owners get to pick up your cashback check. We head down to the grocery store of our sponsor to meet the president and find out what all the fuss is about. 33:12 - Rad Reviews: This week's trio of reviews has New Sincerity Works, Ben Brookes and Michael P Cullen under the Frequency Horizon critical microscope. 1:20:35 - We promised Andrew Kinnie would grace the Tuff City Radio studio with his presence and he did not disappoint. It was great to hear how he approaches creating vibrational waves and pushing it out into the universe via both organic and digital means. He sat down for a chat before launching into a didgeridoo/drum performance. Then he mixed a really sweet set of chill but inspiring West Coast beats as DJ Geotang.

Saving lives and deep dive chill... Pre-show: Going in with some local community chatter about the parallel efforts to build either an arena or a pool in Tuff City as part of the Time Out (w/ Dena, Roman and Belinda) program that precedes the Frequency Horizon. 1:39:03 - Hey, one time I happened on a group of youth dealing with their friend who just had a seizure apparently while surfing for the first time... 1:07:42 - Rad Reviews: Eric Anders (Inside the Sacrifice Zone etc.) @eric-anders-846458122 My take: "then you might just have a hope of recovery... you might just rise up again." I bumped into an Ottawa DJ, Madame R, who has longterm African experience (Senegal). So here's some inspired hardstyle from a Ministry of Love (https://www.facebook.com/MinistryofLoveOttawa/) set on her mixcloud (http://www.mixcloud.com/rachelle-lavergne-dixon/) set: https://www.mixcloud.com/rachelle-lavergne-dixon/madame-ergnes-live-mix-from-jurassic-beats/ Music: @serum @tokyoprose @funkinmatt @flobots-official @kalyascintilla @daftalive

Pretty sure we broke our record for the number of guests, live performances and poems on this special "extended edition." 26:40 - Johnny Thorpe @johnny-london-969161637 is back with Isaac "Good Ingredients" Goodings for a duel acoustic guitar session. 52:00 - The boys from Cali step up to the plate to discuss fin-less surfing, returning to the craft after a three-year hiatus and why Tuff City is a worthy destination for SoCal kids. 1:07:00 - Rad Review: Chrystyna Marie @chrystynamariemusic "LIFE" 1:43:20 - Marilyn from Ville de Saint-Hyacinthe in Quebec plays a tender guitar number live in studio, showcasing her crystal-clear vocals. 2:02:00 - Paula makes her final appearance on the Frequency Horizon before being kicked out of the country due to her visa running out. She talks about having dinner next to Justin Trudeau and reads three poems from her newly released 'zine Wine Stains.

Gettin’ down with the local, plus an in studio session from an East Londoner. >We kick it off with a brand new theme song courtesy of @Nasoshnik 25:50 - Rad Review: DANIIROUNDTREE @daniiroundtree “Memoirs” #rnb 33:39 - Thanks to our Episode 77 foray north of Vancouver my Ray Bans may have ultimately been spotted by Sublime, thanks to an artistic soul @beth-kahrer from Sonoma. https://soundcloud.com/frequencyhorizon/episode-77-oregon-dispatch-tofino-food-wine-fest-recollections 39:29 - Johnny Thorpe joins us live in studio to consider such important issues as public nudity, zodiac disappearance and the goings on at our local hippie campground. 1:44:18 - I read a poem from Paula Freitag's Wine Stains 'zine just days ahead of its release. You can find it at Merge http://facebook.com/merge.tofino and other fine retailers. Music: Grum @grum, Suspect Hero @suspect-hero, Danny Byrd @dannybyrdmusic, Fred V & Grafix @fredvgrafix, Memtrix @memtrix, The Chemical Brothers @thechemicalbrothers, Dugo @dugoofficial, Siriusmo @siriusmo Plus we end off with a quick s/o to 442 Squadron for their efforts in the rescue of plane crash victims.

We put Councillor Greg’s feet to the fire about the goings on of our local surf resort village, including what to do about containing the pressures arising from the growth in AirBnB-style vacation rentals. Plus, he reads us a poem he wrote that was inspired by the all-night wolf escape story featured in last week’s episode. https://soundcloud.com/frequencyhorizon/episode-82-escape-from-the-wolf-pack-in-studio-acoustic-session 6:43 - But first, I get into it early with the “track of the week” winner, this time from Dirtybird records. It’s Walker & Royce’s “Take Me to Your Leader” @walker-and-royce. 18:44 - Rad Reviews: We delve into @nasoshnik’s An Unknown Water and @dugoofficial’s Lingua Franca. 46:31 - The outpouring of support for station manager Cam Dennison’s battle with cancer has been truly mind-blowing. Tuff City (and beyond) came together in less than a week to beat the $15k target by more than two grand. There are still plenty of hurdles ahead, so take a gander over to the crowdfunding page: https://www.gofundme.com/our-friend-cam-needs-our-help 56:05 - Coun. Greg Blanchette steps into the Tuff City Radio studio hot seat to give his poetic account of the tale involving numerous wolves we broadcast on Episode 82. We'll discuss the Wickaninnish Inn's plans for new staff housing, why he was okay with looking at allowing residents of the Shore (located across the street from the station) make money off short-term rentals while still supporting the District's efforts to shut down similar vacation rentals at South Chesterman Beach Homes, and plans to launch a Tofino magazine with a literary bent. Music: @touristmusic, @chrissuofficial, @infinityink, @plaid, @sihuacroberial

Of wolf attacks and heart-wrenching vocals. 1:11 -Sekret Pocket @sekret_pocket, HAL 9000 and Kurt Clayton @kurtclaytonofficial are in the house! They bring a full crew to Tuff City radio studio and play a few tracks for you guys. 58:48 - I headed to our local hippie campground in the forest called Poole's Land to meet with Sylvain (who is NOT a hippie, he emphasized). He told me about a harrowing ordeal where he spent a night in the forest getting chased by a bunch of wolves. The story really resonated with me, since I got lost in the bush the same day he did, and so the way he was describing things rang true to my own experience. I'm just lucky the animal dens I fell into were empty, and that my situation happened in the middle of the day not at the end, like his. Music: @spydnb @esseks @kllsmth @tiesto

Cold Open: While I drive off the ferry back to Vancouver Island after my roadtrip to the States, I chat with Dena, as she frantically attempts to get Tuff City Radio back on the air... 7:42 - Island Life problems: The ferry was busy and BC Ferries made me wait a sailing, so it took me a couple extra hours to make it back to Tuff City. It was dark when I hit the last leg of the journey, and I found a pair of nighttime hikers (Pierre and Maude) in basically the "middle of nowhere" by the Rainforest Trail. We delve into the story of these "Snow Mexicans," as it drifts from treeplanting to cherrypicking. 56:29 - A couple of Pierre and Maude's friends join the conversation. Music: @gabrielanddresden @nnuages @noir @solomun @nosajthing @kaytranada

From India to England, this week's episode taps into some serious international energy! 57:37 - Stoked to have a Mumbaikur (resident of Mumbai, India) in the studio to give us a little Bollywood 101. 1:31:35 - I randomly happened upon a DJ Deekline show on Vancouver Island @djdeekline and I thoroughly enjoyed the result. To my surprise the drum n' bass and booty breaks legend with a pirate radio pedigree had his own reflections on Tuff City. Music: @johnfruscianteofficial @m83 @tanya-tagaq @silent-season @spydnb @lsn-uk @jamie-xx-official @geotic

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the @AudibleDoctor interview session! The good doctor has released a slew of new music over the past few weeks and months - he’s dropped two volumes of his instrumental series “Soul Slaps,” a new EP with singer Davenport Grimes, and he’s collaborating with folks such as Homeboy Sandman - so it was only right to catch up with him to get the low down on what has been a very productive 2017 to date. Fellow Brown Bag All Star & Fat Beats alum J57 dropped by to provide some in-studio color commentary as well as utilize his elephant-esque memory to fill in the gaps as we dig into the history books - stories like Audible’s Joell Ortiz placement post Aftermath, his time at Tuff City that led to collaborating with funk legends the Skull Snaps as well as what it was like growing up in Madison, WI and his eventual move to NYC. We can’t tell you everything here, folks - so hurry up, push play and let us hear you say…it’s ALWAYS that #smithsonian #grade #twiceaweek  // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #undergroundhipihop #DJ #mix #interview #podcasts #ATL #WORLDWIDE Recorded live May 15, 2017 @ Dirty Blanket Studios, Marietta, GA southernvangard.com @southernvangard on #itunes #podcast #stitcherradio #soundcloud #mixcloud twitter/IG: @jondoeatl @southernvangard @cappuccinomeeks

20:10 - You know we bring the poetry. And you know we’re not afraid to drop news bombs on y’all. We do both with this segment — reciting poetry read out to Tuff City’s council the night before the show aired. Finally you get to understand the genius that is Chester Manbeach. 37:45 - A couple from the Northwest Territories, Magnus Andri Palsson and Caihla MacCuish, picked me up hitchhiking and were kind enough to buy me an India pale ale at a brand new brewery. So I’m going to take you guys with me to the newest cultural attraction on Vancouver Island — the Port Alberni brewery. 1:20:10 - As part of the radio-sponsored “Mighty String Thing” we bring you a 16-minute jam session featuring Grammy award-winning talent, not to mention collaborators with Maple Blues and Juno award nods. Get into it! 1:15:00 - We play the latest from Frequency Horizon listener and collaborator extraordinaire @lovelife2020 1:36:26 - Perhaps the most newsworthy segment ever aired on the Frequency Horizon, we report a death witnessed by our theme song writer a few hours prior to the show going live -- prompting an important PSA. Serious but never judgemental. Just relaying stories that need to be told.

It was a bit chaotic for the first time this year over the weekend, although in a totally controlled fashion (that will change, and you know it). 39:23 - I speak with one dude who was smacked in the face with the difficulty of surfing, and totally loved it. A bit chaotic, but I think you'll appreciate the reality of this moment. This was part of a brief hitchhiking interlude with 27-year-old Curtis Alpaugh and his girlfriend 26-year-old Chanel Martin. Thanks guys! 45:33 - James Rempel tells me about a very personal experience in nature involving an eagle a hawk and their clockwise/counter-clockwise circular motion. This dude is legit. 1:29:32 - I give a couple Tofino visitors who pick me up hitchhiking an introduction to Tuff City life, giving them the skinny on Wickaninnish Beach -- and beyond.

47:18 - We head to the Legion for the Tuff City Idol's 2017 finale, and even interview Hillary, the winner. 1:27:49 - Here's a clip of a fellow Aphex Twin-lover who gave me a lift across Vancouver Island, and was feelin' the ambient pioneer's new track as a brilliant sunset blanketed Kennedy Lake on the way.

DJ Ginger Slice (@ginga-slice) is back in Tofino while she continues to work on a bass-heavy EP. I know you can't wait for what she'll drop, and I can assure you there's some gems in there for sure. "You have to go in there with an optimistic, curious point of view -- and enjoy it," she urges music creators. 1:19:11 - We bring you some random bunny facts and talk about the Best of Tofino results from the illustrious Tofino Time (http://www.tofinotime.com/) magazine.

Entertaining and refreshing, hopeful but realistic, this episode's gonna make you think and rock your wetsuit booties clean off, before chilling you out as you know we do~ -We'll fire'er up w/ a mini-throwback musically speaking for the lead-in “Time Out” show members who stuck around to chill on the couch in studio. Come on guys, I love leftovers, and didn’t mean anything nasty by it :P [16:00] -Tuff City local Omar Soliman drops by to tell us a bit about his idea to improve water conservation in the surf gear rental industry. Inspired by a trip to Egypt, he’s got a solution that makes environmental and financial sense for small business owners here in North America. Please run with it because we’re offering the concept up 100% free of charge! [1:03:25] -Jamie Cowling (@lovelife2020), an American poet who connected with the Frequency Horizon over Soundcloud, has sent us some original poetry to premiere on the show. We’ll get into the intensity of wavelike (~) frequencies in this one. You should expect no less!

It's a wet one out there in Tuff City, with windswept wave plains, swell where there normally isn't any and potholes growing bigger by the second. And we've got you covered with a ton of appropriate tracks to relax your mind and keep you hunkered down warm with the ones you love... [22:30] I met an aspiring journalist named Maxim Brehme who rolled through Tofino, B.C., and he brought his desire to uncover the truth of our North American culture with him. So I put him up to the task, asking him to use his German perspective to examine what's going on with the rise of Donald Trump south of the border.

-Mowgli Supertramp peaced the scene months ago but suddenly rolled through Tuff City with a backpack blasting tunes (Flight Facilities @flightfacilities) on the beach. He's drops by to say hi to our listeners. And he'll introduce our Francophone episode by explaining what the term DFC is all about. 27:20 - A Quadra Island transplant pops in to play some trivia. "Most people just pass though..." he says about the Gulf Island. "There's like a small majority of hippies." BTW he does electrical. 30:33 - I visit potential future Olympians out scrubbing down vehicles as part of a car wash fundraiser so they can head to the Island of Azores in Portugal for the ISA World Junior Surfing Championship. Yes I did write the music in the background. Enjoy. 46:05 - We met Jen Osborne way back in Episode 6, where she talked about what's involved in photographing in conflict situations in the Ukraine. She graces us with her presence in Tuff City Radio studios, talking about how much one Tofino beach means to her. 1:00:30 - Come with us to a beach rave! 1:17:10 - Francophone singer-songwriter Beyries (@beyries) visits the studio for a great chat about writing music, touring and the Tofino atmosphere. "It's a super inspiring place to be for an artist," she says. "It's very natural." Then she premieres an unreleased track created with Quebec star Louis-Jean Cormier of Polaris Prize-winning Karkwa fame. 1:28:20 ("J'aurais cent ans") Joe Farr "No Secret", Christoph (@cristophmusic) "Transmittance", Stone & Madnap (@madnap) "Oracle".

What controls the destiny of a small community like Tofino more than its municipal budget? Today we're focused on enlightening the future financial plan of Tuff City by speaking with multiple elected officials. -Coun. Duncan McMaster puts a word in about the significance of the multi-year fiscal strategy, set to a Carl Cox update of a sweet Royksopp track. He references the drive towards affordable housing, noting the money is there (even if the plan is not). [14:45] -We have Mayor Josie Osborne in the hot seat as we get right down to the nuts and bolts of the impact of the governmental plan on infrastructure and property tax rates. And you might be pleasantly surprised by what we uncover… [48:17] -You'll pick up interesting stats about the unique character of this vacation rental hot spot -> such as how 48% of property tax bills were sent out of town. -Plus we provide the radio debut of auditory research into Pacific rainforest sounds funded by the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust. Birders, ambient fans and sciences buffs take note! [31:51] Some of the music you can expect: -Dusky's (@duskymusic) "Ingrid is a Hybrid" -Klaxons (@klaxons) "Love Frequency (Tom Rolands rmx)" -Style Council (@the-style-council) "My Ever-changing"

>Justin Martin's "Dive In" kicks off Episode 25 for us, as we dive in ourselves to some pretty solid material... (@justin-martin-music) We hang out with kayaker Simon Behman as he launches himself from Tofino's shores to raise awareness about salmon conservation while raising $$$ for local non-governmental organization Friends of Clayoquot Sound. It's a 2,000 km challenge he's facing head on, and local outfitter Tofino Sea Kayaking Company had a few positive comments about Simon's clear determination. Update: Simon has so far made incredible progress despite difficulties presented by Pacific Ocean conditions. Former Frequency Horizon guest Luc Bibeau returns to the program, this time with a slew of homies in tow: -Calgarian Chris Adams is a news head who is on his way to do a masters of journalism at Ryerson University in Toronto. -Despite initial hesitation to get behind the mic, Andrew Dennison, in town from Kamloops, throws down a precise sociological interpretation of Tuff City's particular brand of West Coast culture. -And Curtis Wolff, another soul from Calgary, helps steer the conversation in lighthearted directions, and talks about banging out sports reports. The crew gathered in Tuff City Radio studios to discuss the state of journalism today, the beautiful people of Tofino, and how the Frequency Horizon audio strains fit perfectly with Victoria's Secret pageantry when you're trying to procrastinate from pre-exam review. Plus music from The Flashbulb, Whitehorse, Four Tet (with a description of a synchronistic happening involving the track), Steve Angello (@steveangello), Boards of Canada (@boardsofcanada), Oliver, Random Rab (@random-rab) and Rene LaVice (@renelavice).

-Plenty of great music up for you folks in this edition including @Kiasmos "Looped", @odd-nosdam Odd Nosdam "Sisters" (Boards of Canada remix), @Nero "The Thrill" (@renelavice Rene LaVice remix OhLaLa's Live Version). -I interview a couple dudes I initially thought were twins who have been doing some pretty extreme cross-country camping. They'll explain how they scored a sponsorship from North Face. (11:10) Check out Francis Fraioli (photographer) and Alex Marcouiller's journey via I Am Nomad (https://www.facebook.com/Iamnomad2015), which has taken them through Alberta and the Yukon so far. They're hoping to head to South America in the future… (hit them up at iamnomad@hotmail.com) "I think we're actually just being ourselves." "Everyone should be having a good vibe when they travel." -We take a look at how fixing the resort community's "amenity policy" could ultimately help house the homeless or build a sports facility. (41:00) -We preview the World Ski and Snowboard festival in Whistler, featuring music from A Tribe Called Red, Chromeo and BADBADNOTGOOD. -We have an interview (30:30) with Moremi Adeyinka, who scooped up $500 in the Tuff City Idol competition, only bested by her own mother, Phyliss Merasty. (Includes performance snippet). We'll premiere a track from Calgarian @indiazi "Hangin' by a Thread," which could be interpreted as a cultural reference to the state of the Albertan economy right now. Or not ;) #peace
